That's not how you do it. Search around these forums, the answer has been posted before.

Well i did a search but nothing that could help me, and i already figured it out by working though it.

Why do you use quotation marks on your OEMSETUP command line?

Try to remove them.

Also, you may want to specify the complete path to your INF file, example:

OEMSETUP /S C:\WMESET\WIN98SE.INF /K /IE /NF

I use these setup switches to install 98 SE + ME [but I don't have an OEM WinME CD]:

SETUP.EXE /ID /IE /IM /IQ /IS /IV /IW /NM /T:D:\TEMP D:\WINME\MSBATCH.INF

Setup switches explained:

Also, in oder to skip the PID [ProductKey], your INF automation/unattended file must contain these lines [change to match your specific settings]:

[Setup]
Express=1
InstallDir=C:\WME
InstallType=3
ProductType=1
ProductKey="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"
EBD=0
ShowEula=0
ChangeDir=1
OptionalComponents=1
Network=1
System=0
CCP=0
CleanBoot=0
Display=0
DevicePath=0
NoDirWarn=1
TimeZone="Mountain Time"
Uninstall=0
NoPrompt2Boot=1
Reboot=2
Verify=0
PenWinWarning=0
VRC=0
Chkdsk=0

Hope this helps.
